    I love Chinese culture, its history, and traditional music. This game has it all, plus a decent combat system with different types of attacks and upgrades. I think that the Shaolin storyline + fighting genre is a great combination. Really enjoyed this game and recommend you try it.

    This is a really fun beat em up game, even though is a little short I really enjoyed it a lot because the gameplay is so good, there's a lot of ways you can defeat your enemies and also is a very rewarding game. There are many collectable statues which unlock many mods in the game, and also many characters you can play as after defeating some bosses. I only wished the game last a littleThis is a really fun beat em up game, even though is a little short I really enjoyed it a lot because the gameplay is so good, there's a lot of ways you can defeat your enemies and also is a very rewarding game. There are many collectable statues which unlock many mods in the game, and also many characters you can play as after defeating some bosses. I only wished the game last a little bit longer but it's even fun replaying it from time to time. I recommend it, but wait for a sale. Because at full price I don't think is really worth it because of how short it is.… Expand

    Beat-em-ups are a dime a dozen, but 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is at the very least different from many of the other offerings on the Switch. From the complexity of the combat system which offers plenty of potential for variety in gameplay, to the inspired visual presentation, it’s easy to recommend to any fan of the beat-em-up genre.

    If it had all of its issues ironed out, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin would be a prime example of rewarding beat 'em up gameplay.

    I had a great time with 9 Monkeys of Shaolin. It was a fun time for the most part, and I constantly wanted to experiment with the different gear and skills. It was one that I always found myself jumping back into it just to get a few more levels in. If you’re a fan of the beat ‘em up genre, this is one you will need to check out. It has the style and the complexity to keep players having fun for the entirety of the game.
